Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've Lived in East London for 86 1/2 years is the story of Joseph Markovitch, a vulnerable old man with a great sense of humour who has lived in Hoxton for his entire life. He left only once, to go to the seaside with his mother. Joe loves Nicolas Cage films, has five sugars in his tea, and he has quite bad catarrh. He is an original 'Eastender'. Dealing with quintessential subject matter such as childhood, art, work, relationships and religion in a playful but touching way, Joseph unknowingly provides a thought-provoking commentary on the state of the modern world.

Book excerpt: Roadside 'weeds' and other routinely overlooked aspects of urban nature provide a fascinating glimpse into the complex global ecologies and new cultures of nature emerging across the world. This unique collection of essays explores the botanical dimensions of urban space, ranging from scientific efforts to understand the distinctive dynamics of urban flora to the way spontaneous vegetation has inspired artists and writers. The book comprises five thematic sections: histories and taxonomies, botanising the asphalt, the art of urban flora, experiments in non-design, and cartographic imaginations. The essays explore developments in Berlin, London, Lahore, and many other cities, as well as more philosophical reflections on the meaning of urban nature under the putative shift to the Anthropocene. 100 colour images

Book excerpt: Photographer Joshua Blackburn has made it his mission to document every remaining launderette in London - more than 300. As high streets grow ever more homogenous, these are one of the few businesses that retain their striking individuality. But they're an endangered species: many close every year in the UK. 'The colours, signs, machines, surfaces and geometry are impossible to resist,' says Blackburn, whose project started as an online blog. Launderama, which features a selection of photos alongside an introductory essay and map, captures the colourful design and community spirit of the humble launderette.

Book excerpt: This book by a new photographer continues from 1980 as the regeneration of the East End accelerates to an unprecedented degree. Tim Brown, a driver on London Underground's Central Line, spent his spare time photographing the city's financial centre and transport hubs, including the Docklands area just before the developers seized control of this vast industrial wasteland. His subtle, understated (and never-before-seen) colour images are a nostalgic record of a corner of the capital that has changed almost beyond recognition.
